Mrs. Kenny and Mrs. Marsh enjoy working with your children and we hope that they talk to you about how we are providing supplemental services to them.

Our Annual Meeting was held on Wednesday, Jan. 31 where we discussed YOUR Title I program. If you weren't able to make the meeting, the Home/School Learning Compact was sent home for you to sign and send back to school.

The North Country Title I Directors are planning the 18th
annual North Country Title I Conference in April. The conference brochures
will be distributed in late February or early March.

I hope that you enjoy the February Title I newsletter that was sent home with your child. There are many
great language and math tips and suggestions on helping your child at
home. I especially liked the article on the
front page about Critical Thinking.

If you have any questions about any part of the Title I
program, please call me at 237-4801, ext. 214, or email me at lkenny@csd.sau7.org.

Title I News October
2016

I would like to introduce myself as the new Title I Project
Manager/Teacher at the Pittsburg School.
I have been at the Colebrook Elementary School for 23 years; as a first
grade teacher for 19 years and as the Title I Project Manager/Teacher and
Reading Specialist for the past 4 years.
This year I am here in Pittsburg one day a week and I am the Reading
Specialist 2 times each month. I am also
the Reading Specialist in Stewartstown once a month, and the rest of the time I
am at Colebrook Elementary School as the Title I Project Manager/Teacher and
Reading Specialist.

The days that I have spent in Pittsburg have been a learning
experience for me getting to know the students and staff. I have assessed the students in grades Kindergarten-three
using the phonological awareness assessment.
This is the understanding that our spoken language is made up of words
and that our words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes. Children need to be able to manipulate these
sounds in order to become fluent readers.
I have shared the information with the teachers and will use this to
provide supplemental instruction to Title I students.

I have also helped the teachers administer the aims web
assessments which are a web-based universal screening, progress monitoring, and
data management system. This information
will be used to identify the students who need supplemental assistance in the
Title I Program.

The students will be taking the NWEA assessment this month
and that will be the final component of assessments we use to identify students
who need additional supplemental assistance in the Title I Program.

Permission slips for Title I will be sent home as soon as
all of our assessments have been completed.
After this I will set up an evening Parent information Meeting.

The Title I monthly newsletter will be sent home as soon as
permission slips and parent compacts are signed. These are full of tips and ideas on ways to
help your children succeed in school. I
hope that you enjoy reading them!

I look forward to a fun and rewarding year working with
eager students!
